3. Heed Warning – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Following Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – The appliance should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

6. Carts and Stands – The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart

combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources – The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization – Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.

12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14. Cleaning – The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

15. Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

17. Nonuse Periods – The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

19. Damage Requiring Service – The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure

ABOUT MINIDISCS

MiniDiscs allow a maximum of 74 minutes (stereo) of recording and playback in a compact size. There are two types of MiniDiscs: those for playback only, and those for recording and playback.

Recordable MiniDiscs

• These are magneto-optical discs on which both recording and playback are possible. Recording is performed through magnetic modulation.

• Re-recording is also possible.

Accidental erasure prevention tabs

These tabs protect recordable MiniDiscs from accidental erasure. To avoid accidentally erasing the recording, open the tab so that the hole is exposed. (See the diagram below.) When this is done, “Protected” is displayed if you attempt to record, erase or otherwise edit the disc, and the recording is protected. To record or erase the disc, set the tab back to its original position (with the hole covered).

Recording on discs

MiniDiscs include a section in which the audio signals are recorded and a section in which such data as track numbers and track titles are recorded.

The TOC

With MiniDiscs, after the audio signals are recorded, data used for checking the tracks (TOC–Table of Contents) is also recorded on the disc. This TOC data is used when playing the disc. In addition, editing is performed by rewriting the TOC data. When TOC writing starts, the “ ” indicator flashes. Do not shake the main unit, press the main unit’s power button or unplug the power cord while the TOC is being written. If the data is not recorded properly, it will not be possible to play the disc.

Handling MiniDiscs

MiniDiscs are housed in cartridges, so there is no need to worry about dirt and scratches. However, dirty or warped cartridges may cause malfunction. Be careful of the following to ensure long-lasting, high quality sound:

• Do not touch the disc surface directly.

• Do not open the shutter by hand.

• Do not place MiniDiscs in dusty, dirty or humid places.

• Do not place MiniDiscs in places exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures.

Cleaning

Use a dry cloth to gently wipe dirt or dust off the cartridge. Do not apply excessive force.

2. SERIAL REMOTE

When using this unit connected to a controller or personal computer, connect the remote connector (RS-232C/RS-422A) to the controller using a 9-pin D-sub cable. (1) When using the serial remote with a bus connection.

q Set the preset “Player ID” to “0 to 15”. (For the operation, see Page 13.) w Set the RS232C/RS422A selector switch of the rear panel to “RS-422A”. (For the operation, see Page 9.) e Set the TERMINATOR switch.

Units connected midway through the bus connection:

Set the TERMINATOR switch to “OFF”.

Units connected at the end of the bus connection:

Set the TERMINATOR switch to “ON”.

(2) When using the serial remote 1:1 with controller.

q Set the preset “Player ID” to “OFF”. w The RS232C/RS422A selector switch (a) of the rear panel can be used with either RS-422A or RS-232C. e Set the TERMINATOR switch to “ON”.

The “Relay Red Mode” is set when anything but “OFF” is selected for “Preset RelayRec” 19). When a disc is loaded, the REC monitor mode is set automatically. Once recording on the first DN-M991R (DN-M991R-1) starts and the disc’s remaining recording time reaches the time specified with the presettings, an REC E.O.M. tally is output and recording starts on DN-M991R-2. Thus, it is possible to record continuously on multiple DN-M991R’s.

NOTE: The REC E.O.M. tally is output even if an error occurs on the recording component and the component stops.

Playback only MiniDiscs

• These discs are for playback only. Commercially available music MDs are of this type.

• These are laser discs, like regular compact discs.

• Tracks on such discs cannot be edited.
